Extreme Pinball was Epic's successor to their hit pinball game Epic Pinball. It contains four pinball tables: Rock Fantasy, Medieval Knights, Urban Chaos, and Monkey Mayhem, each with a different theme. Compared to Epic Pinball, it has a larger, 320x400 resolution, as well as taller tables, both allowing for more objects. It also has a typical Dot Matrix Display where the scoreboard shows 3D-rendered animations as well. The controls are more sensitive with a faster ball. This is less true to real pinball gameplay, but it speeds up the game's pace and gives more power to the player to influence the movement.

1 minute and 38 seconds.
1 minute and 38 seconds is the total amount of loading it takes for me to get from boot to the Monkey Mayhem pinball table appearing on my screen in Duckstation. On my actual Playstation console it took 2 minutes and 19 seconds. How many things can you do in 2 minutes and 19 seconds?
-You could make 5 to 25 sandwiches depending on multiple factors.
-You can piss off the International Tea Association by boiling some water in the microwave.
-You could any% speedrun Myst twice
-You could eliminate Santino Marella from the Royal Rumble 92 times
-You could listen to this zebrahead song
-Take a massive dump.
All this waiting for what? Some dull pinball tables that look like they belong on Super Nintendo.
This was one of the very first games I remember playing on Playstation, and what a game to get myself acquainted with the console. Oh my! Load times! Wave of the future! CD-ROM is my new lord and master, those expensive-ass cartridges are goin' the way of the stone age now that I can boot up Extreme Pinball, and suddenly find myself with some newfound free time to go build a bottle in a ship while I wait for a half-animated JPEG to appear on my screen and hand me some visual nyquil to help me fall asleep.
Ruiner Pinball was more eventful, and the tables in this game don't even have Poppy Bros. Jr. kicking the shit out of some chickens. Imagine jobbing out to the Atari Jaguar, imagine getting squashed by a Game Boy game.
Bleak days ahead for the Playstation if this is what we're being dealt! SMH! Dead console!
